Carbon Dioxide: What Is It?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gas that has no color or smell and is not combustible. Carbon dioxide can exist as a solid, liquid, or gas at concentrations of roughly 0.03% in the air.

 

Employer-Side Applications

  1. Beverages

Customers can keep their products at their optimal freshness while preventing contamination thanks to our food grade CO2 and a dependable supply network. We are aware that purity is important when bottling beverages or capping wine or beer production.

 

  1. Manufacturing Food

Our chilling and freezing systems use liquid CO2 to protect product quality by preventing rotting or aging while being transported to your clients. We also provide a quick and simple method for thoroughly cleaning equipment without leaving any residue.

 

  1. Because carbon dioxide is heavier than air, combustion cannot occur. As a result, many fire extinguishers put out fires by using carbon dioxide. Liquid carbon dioxide is used directly by the carbon dioxide fire extinguisher to put out the fire. The fact that the solid residue is not left behind after the fire has been put out is advantageous in addition to the aforementioned features.

 

  1. Although it is less protective than other rare gases (like argon), carbon dioxide can also be used as a shielding gas for welding.
  2. A significant source of industrial lasers is the carbon dioxide laser.
  3. Carbon dioxide can be utilized to manufacture wine, and the oxygen-deficient environment it generates makes it more difficult for bacteria to grow on the grapes.
  4. Carbon dioxide has the ability to regulate pH levels; it is introduced to swimming pools to regulate pH levels and to prevent pH from rising.
  5. Both the alkali and sugar industries can make use of carbon dioxide.
  6. In the plastics sector, carbon dioxide can be employed as a blowing agent.
  7. Dry ice can be utilized for special effects in the food sector, stage smoke effects, artificial rain, and other applications.
  8. Printing plate rolls and equipment from the nuclear business can both be cleaned using dry ice.
  9. The automobile, marine, aerospace, space, and electronics industries can all benefit from the utilization of dry ice. Volume reduction and fabric separation convert the liquid carbon dioxide to a gas volume, doing away entirely with the laborious post-treatment process that conventional solvents bring.
  10. Technology for CO2 supercritical extraction. The characteristics will change when the temperature and pressure are both greater than the critical thresholds of 31°C and 3 MPa, respectively. The viscosity is similar to that of a gas, the density is similar to that of a liquid, and the diffusion coefficient is one hundred times greater than that of a liquid. So it has a strong dissolving ability, can dissolve a variety of substances and then extract the active ingredients from them, can use this technology to produce high value-added products, can extract substances that previously couldn't be extracted by chemical methods, is affordable, and is non-toxic. efficient and secure. The chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and other industries can use it.
